Does anyone know how hard these are to install? I installed some stich-on wraps on some handlebars some years ago and I ended up with little cuts all over my fingers from pulling the laces tight enough to get a good, firm installation. I’m now looking at some of these for a vintage bike I bought…does anyone have experience with these? (I’m looking at the ones from Velo Orange).

Velo Orange is the only current source for stitched leather that I know of, though the bike in the picture probably has some older stuff pre-dating Velo Orange. i think Nitto might have been a source at one time.

how hard is it to stitch? oh yeah, it’s a bitch, but style should hurt a little, you know what i mean?
